Ophthalmology help please - susieq

Posted: Jan 19, 2011

I just got a new client that is an ophthalmology group. The doctor is saying,

"Pachymetry measurements by ultrasound pachymetry are 508 microns OD and 510 microns OS. ___________ are 46.5 x 47.2 flat meridian at 1 OD and 46.75 x 47.75 flat meridian at 1 OS."

Where the blank is it sounds like K.A's or Cave's??? Is there such a thing. I can't seem to find anything similar.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

The preoperative refractive power at the anterior corneal surface may be approximated by Kavg - Kpost, where
Kavg is the average corneal refractive power and Kpost is a posterior corneal refractive power.

Corneal Pachymetry

Central Avg: 576 um (ROI=0-4 mm)
Paracentral Avg: 632 um (ROI=4-7 mm)
Peripheral Avg: 725 um (ROI=7-8 mm)

Thinnest Pachymetry:
Location x,y -0.82 mm, 0.37 mm
Thickness: 560 um

Axial Curvature

n=1.3375

Central Avg: 44.81 D (ROI=0-4 mm)
Paracentral Avg: 44.63 D (ROI=4-7 mm)
Peripheral Avg: 44.18 D (ROI=7-8 mm)

Pupil

Avg Diameter: 2.33 mm
Center x,y -0.10 mm, 0.83 mm

Limbus

Nasal-Temporal: 12.55 mm
Superior-Inferior: 11.54 mm

OS

Axial Curvature

n=1.3375 ROI=1-4(mm)

SimKavg: 45.33 D (7.45 mm)
SimKf: 44.71 D (7.55 mm)
SimKs: 45.94 D (7.35 mm)
Astigmatism: 1.23 D @ 88.0Â°
E^2 = 0.19

Posterior Axial Curvature

n=1.376 ROI=1-4(mm)
Kavg: -6.59 D (6.07 mm)
Kf: -6.35 D (6.30 mm)
Ks: -6.82 D (5.87 mm)
Astigmatism: -0.46 D @ 90.0Â°
E^2 = 0.05

Total Corneal Power (Ray Traced)

The doc says "Retina examination shows normal _____ vessels." After having googled and googled, I wonder if he is saying disk macula and vessels or maybe disk-macula and vessels. I have found a hyphenated "disk-macula" but only once, so I don't know whether to trust this or not. And it could be something else. It could be "dis-something," but I just can't find anything that begins with "dis" related to eye anatomy. It could be "disk," which actually would make some sen ...
